Fix for: What happens if I leave a turned off laptop under direct sunlight for several hours?

Low Risk

The battery most likely will lose capacity. Capacity loss for Li-Ion batteries strongly depends on the temperature and raising it that much will probably have some effect. Apart from that, I doubt much will happen you'd notice.
